Pumpkin Spice Must Haves Autumn will soon be making her grand entrance, I'm going through my closet digging out boots, over sized chunky sweaters, scarfs,and I love fall. Apple Picking, hay rides, pumpkin picking are my absolute favorite fall activities. With Autumns arrival brands release all the pumpkin spice goodies at us whether it be cookies, teas, coffees, breads you name it, it exists. However all this pumpkin goodness is only seasonal. There are so many Pumpkin Flavored foods & beverages from cheerios, pretzels, Starbucks and more. I've tasted a mass quantity of them and am about ready to turn orange and be ripe for the Picking come October. I've narrowed down my top 6 favorite picks!  1. Archer Farms Pumpkin Pretzels - From Savory to Sweet its a delicious indulging treat! Not to pumpkiny but very tasty.  2. World Market Pumpkin Spice Coffee - Nothing says falls than a steaming piping cup of coffee, it's fall so let's spice it up with a piping...

I have a daughter and if your kids are like mine she is either learning to use the potty at night on their own or scared of the dark. My daughter is both of what I listed. The Philips soft night light was the solution for our problems. The night lights come in a vast variety of your child's favorite characters. My daughter chose Minnie Mouse. It's super soft, easy for a child to hold, it charges which eliminates batteries, and it's super to turn on just turn it upside down to turn off. My daughter giggles and exclaims Minnie has ideas when we turn Minnie Mouse on. When you first get one of these night lights which can retail from $15-$25, You must charge it for 24 hours. After that it's good to go, it's a must have for my wee ones. They love the fun characters and no fears if they drop it. No damage will be done if it's dropped. The light is a soft light and not recommended for daily use in pitch dark. We always leave the bathroom light on which creates some...

Learn with Homer is a child's app curated to spark the imagination & learning of a child, with learning, songs, poetry, books & much more! Ho,ER is proven to boost scores by 74% WOW!   As noted on the homer website: "study found that children who used Learn with Homer for just 15 minutes per day nearly doubled their scores on tests of phonological awareness, the skill that is the strongest predictor of later reading ability. While all children scored similarly on all areas of the pre-test, by the post-test students who used the Homer Method significantly out-paced the students who did not." When I first downloaded Homer, I was very excited to see what this new app would offer,  that other apps did not. I was pleasantly surprised with I did find!
